The items in my Clothing Module are meant to compliment my bug out load out clothing that I wear during a bug out scenario. The module is stored inside of the bug out bag itself in a purple packing cube. Purple equates to Clothing in “The Color of Prepping” organization concept. Clothing items are prone to taking up a lot of space in your pack. To help minimize this, I have tried to leverage ultralight gear that is lightweight and compact. The items in the Clothing Module itself also follow the Gray Man approach.

In a bug out scenario is it good to follow the “Gray Man” approach, which is defined as the ability to disappear into your environment and not drawing attention to yourself or your state of preparedness. This should greatly increase your chances of survival in a true emergency situation. Since I live in an urban environment, I have chosen to take the Gray Man concept literally by selecting clothing that is gray in color. I feel that this blends in well with the concrete and building structures that you see in the city. I am also prone to wearing a lot of black clothing items and I wanted to avoid that overall look while still wearing a color palette that is non-bright to minimize detection, especially at night.

The items discussed in this document outline the clothing choices I wear as part of by “bug out load out”; the clothes I would prefer to wear during a bug out scenario. During an emergency situation I may be in an attire that is not conducive for extended, outdoor walking over a great distance (e.g., dress clothes, sleeping attire, etc). I have my bug out load out clothes hung up in the closet and ready to go. If time permits, I would quickly put them on before taking off with my bug out bag. If time is of the essence (e.g., earthquake), I would leave them behind and just try to grab my bug out bag if possible. In my bug out bag itself, I include my Clothing Module which contains items that compliment my bug out load out attire. Clothing items are prone to taking up a lot of space in your pack. To help minimize this, I have tried to leverage ultralight gear that is lightweight and compact. The items in the Clothing Module itself also follow the Gray Man approach.

My channel features emergency preparedness topics and related gear reviews. Since I live and work in the greater Seattle area, my focus is on “Urban” preparedness and not on Rural environment related concepts.

My goal is to provide video content that is family-friendly, entertaining and accessible to a wide audience. I work in software engineering, so many of the projects and gear testing that I upload to YouTube leverage engineering skills; planning, organization, scientific method testing and documentation. I try to treat all of my large projects or “kits” as open-source projects that viewers can leverage and customize to their own set of needs. I find that prepping gear is specific to the individual, but organization is universal.
